UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 What you have bought probably isnt a VAG-COM cable, but some cheap junk.Rosstech lock the VAG-COM software to legitimate cables. Link to post Share on other sites
pat_986 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yeah, what I was thinking.They do say about cheap cables here;http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/download/archives.htmlDo you know where else I can get software? Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I can never understand why people try and get this on the cheap, causes so many hassles getting it working then it doesnt show you all that you need to know.Bite the bullet and pays your money, I did and is soooo much easier, even works on Vista with no problems Link to post Share on other sites

pat_986 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 P.S. What I was trying to find out is if the ABS light would go out if the problem has been fixed, or does it need to be reset? Would you know? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 If the sensor is faulty the light will not go out till you replace it. Then it will go out after a few cycles of it checking the system.....or VAGCOM will reset the light Link to post Share on other sites
pat_986 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Cool thanks. Fitted a new hub and not sure if the sensor is anygood(light was on before because wheel bearing collapesed and took the wheel with it) Link to post Share on other sites
